Ma Yong: About basketball

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-01-30

Because my father was a teacher, I went to school with him when I was a child. So compared to my peers, I had the opportunity to get into basketball at an early age. Often, in the spring and summer evenings, after finishing my homework, I could ask for a basketball from the PE teacher, and shoot the ball and shoot on the dirt playground behind the classroom.

In the classroom of the first (4th) class of junior high school, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Jia, sat in the last row of the classroom without any suspense. Actually, it was a heavy blow to me. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the big people sitting in the last row of the classroom are mostly troublemakers who are not good at learning Xi, and I was forced to bear this "bad reputation" as well, so for a period of time, my whole person was lost.

One day, during the morning Xi. Teacher Jia announced one thing on the podium: the school will hold a basketball game, and let each class form a basketball team to compete. I was a little happy when I heard this, because I love basketball, and my basketball skills are good, so I can show my skills. Mr. Jia is a person who does not like sports, and he does not know which students in his class can play basketball. He glanced at the class, everyone was nervous and didn't speak, and the air in the classroom froze, very quiet. His eyes finally fell on our back row area, and he swiped his finger: A few big guys in your back row are going to play, at least tall and can grab rebounds ......And just like that, I participated in an official basketball tournament for the first time.

It is often said that interest is the best teacher. Once infatuated, it will be out of control!Needless to say, in physical education class, after finishing the project arranged by the teacher, I would be the first to run over and grab the basketball during free activities, and immediately split up into teams and played half a game. A few of us became regulars on the basketball court, starting with just classmates playing together, and then slowly inviting the PE teacher to play with other subject teachers. In the sparring, we stole the technical movements of the teachers and practiced the Xi repeatedly, and after returning home, we lay on the bed and constantly recalled, understood, and understood the essentials and essence of their movements, and slowly our basketball skills improved by leaps and bounds. We all have our own special skills, such as stagnation, breakthrough, hook, three, etc. In various competitions in the future, we have our own unique way of scoring, the so-called "eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magical powers". The game was exciting and intense, the winning rate was greatly improved, and we became a famous basketball player in the school.

When I went to high school, I slowly came into contact with **5 sets of programs, and the NBA games broadcast on TV made our blood boil. Jordan, the basketball god of the Bulls, became our cult idol, and we put his poster on the dorm door or on the head of our bed. Jordan's super air-blocking ability and god-like jump shot became the key to his team's victory. He enjoyed the joy of sports, and the expression of sweat on his face and smiling and sticking out his tongue after scoring a goal has become an eternal memory for us. But we have tight homework and heavy tasks in high school, and we all have a college dream in our hearts, so we rarely play ball, and the occasional physical education class has become our luxury. If we're lucky enough to have PE and extracurricular activities together, we're overjoyed to finally be able to play a game of golf. When we ran back to the classroom with our clothes draped and sweating profusely and laughing at the bell, the joy of this exercise would never be experienced by anyone who had never played ball!

During our university years, we had relatively plenty of free time, and we all joined various clubs. The veteran players of the Chinese basketball team are facing graduation, so they need to recruit a new group of players to supplement the team's roster. When I heard the news, I didn't bother to eat lunch, so I hurried to the playground. There are a lot of people who have signed up, and there are about 50 people in a dense group. The teachers divided us into groups of 3 and then randomly played against each other, and selected some of the best among them. Later, these people were lined up in a long line, and we were asked to take turns to make three-step layups, fixed-point shots, free throws, etc., and finally finalized the list after a series of inspections. Because of my solid basketball foundation and rich game experience, I am honored to be selected for the Chinese basketball team and become one of them.

After joining the work, I often Xi life with my children, and of course, we also play ball together. The children's love for basketball is just like mine, and in addition to the physical education classes during the week, they also come to the school to play on the weekends. Again and again, they leaned on the door of my room and whispered to me: Teacher, play ball and go!I had to put down the laundry I was doing or the homework I was grading, and happily soak in the playground with them, and it was noon at a dozen. Children are like leeks in spring, walking and coming in a new crop, and in the past ten years, I have unconsciously cultivated batches of basketball lovers. They have now become the backbone of society, fighting in all walks of life, and continuing to write one legend after another.

I've played countless games over the years. He has injured the bridge of his nose, sprained his ankle, broken his eyebrow bone, and severely injured his knee. Now that I am past my age, my physical strength has declined, and my body has become blessed. But I'm still obsessed with basketball, I still love it, but I don't have the time and energy to play. It's more about watching a ball game on TV, or strolling around Ishikawakawa Course on the weekend, sitting on a bench by the court, and watching a group of teenagers play in full swing. Looking at it, my mind wanders, and these pictures seem to have my blood and sweat, my youthful memories, and my countless honors and countless pains.

Looking back on my days with basketball, I'm happy. I'm not a professional basketball player, and basketball didn't give me a rich life and a high social status. But what it brought me was a strong character, a strong physique, and the joy of sports. I think these gains of mine are really not experienced by ordinary people!
